Maxtor teams up with Fabrik on personal server

So Maxtor and Valley startup Fabrik are up to something together,
which they're calling Project Fusion. It sounds very cloak and dagger and whatnot, but it's actually pretty transparent
and literal: they're building a personal server (i.e. a big external hard drive) that connects up to the Internet with
Fabrik's service and allows you to access your data with a web-accessible frontend. There's even a new buzzword to
describe the package: "personal media portal." Ok then. According to Maxtor the device could go for as much
as $799 for a 500GB, which leaves a bit of a bad taste in our mouths (especially when there's, you know, about ten
thousand companies out there trying to get your files online for you), but Om likes Fabrik, and you can't really argue with Om.
